Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks | The Joggers (Granada)
"Stephen Malkmus sucks" has pretty much become a cliche whenever he's brought up. Each solo album increasingly gives you that Westerberg syndrome, or: guy from some legendary band who continues to lose his way. That being said, I recently heard some tracks from "Real Emotional Trash" playing in a retail setting, and it caught my ear more than anything he's done since the two tolerable tracks off of his first solo record. And by caught my ear I mean everything from "Hey, this is okay." to "Weird. This is Malkmus? What the hell is he thinking?" That's better than the usual reaction. The Joggers have some quirky, spiky little guitar parts that would almost convince you they're going to be good, until they come in with their vocals, which are the something to the effect of a guy from Portland trying to sound like Ray Davies.

buttboy = 64 eels, methinketh"

I don't tell Holocaust jokes, dude.

plus I'm more clever than that.

"ok everyone, you will know when the real me posts. I'm getting sick and tired of these impersonators"

that's not me either. I like the impersonators.

i cannot begin to underline the need for more humor here

i prefer jack & coke, actually.

hahaha!!.......but seriously SM's solo stuff sounds like its caught somewhere between Steely Dan and frat boy folk shit like Bob Shneider.....it is utter garbage and whoever likes it should be gassed along with every other Steely Dan fan....fire up Aushwitz!! (: (; ); )><)

hey i'm not artsy, i'm an environmentally emo and i need a ride to school cause i'm trying to save the planet and its hot outside.

go san antonio spurs!

lou reed and brian eno to name a few.

Oh frank black's first couple solo albums were great. Not very neo country.

kania tieffer

Who else is a post-legendary-band artist out there? I can't think of any other than Bob Mould, but I havent heard his solo stuff.

free mexico!

oh cool... now you're trying the "gosh, i was just kidding, i can't believe you fell for it" approach. nice one!

after watching malkmus perform last night i can report most assuredly that he absolutely does not suck

I hope she was worth it. See you in obscurity.

Love,
Substance

yeah.....right

Thank you! All 14 of you, well, minus 11:43. Who else would spend
their time to argue/debate about something so meaningless other
than elitist, trendy hearted, artsy wannabe fucks. You guys are
so gullible......and funny.

It is really cool to not like Malkmus these days, isn't it? Maybe he'll start an orchestral pop group soon, then he'll be cool.

why get worked up about any of this? Can't we all go back to accusing wsjr of blowing Health too much?

Is it okay to think Stephen Malkmus sort of scuks if you also don't really like Pavement at all?

brendan!
brundan!
brandan!
get you're little asses in here and keep MAMA WARM!!

cherry

according to the grouch 'artsy' is a word.

fuck your shit up 6:44

i think i'm the only one that think pavement sucks. i don't know why i'm supposed to like them or why slanted and enchanted is on my ipod. oh, because i'm an "elitist artsy wanna be fuck," although i prefer the term has been, cause in high school i was awesome.

5:05, you are just bitter.

Have a shot of Crown Royal & a beer and hope all us artsy elitist bullshit fuckers will just go away.

I don't understand all the hate on Malkmus, his solo albums aren't nearly as bad as other post great band solo artists. Look at Frank Black his albums are neo country easy listening, in comparison Malkmus' stuff is really good.

don't be a heartbreaker sr

angry dad.

i can't decide whether you're actually the real elitist here, or if at the end of the day, you're nothing more than a crying little pussy who gets mad at stuff he/she doesn't understand.

and the word "artsy" is for retards.

If "Stephen Malkmus sucks" is something burped up by
the elitist, trendy hearted, artsy wannabe fucks that
take their opinions way too seriously, I'm okay with
that. And I'm sure he is too. His solo stuff is a far
cry from Pavement, but it's still better than 90% of
the new bullshit garbage heralded by the likes of this
blog and ones like it.
